Comet Lovejoy

Lovejoy 2We have another comet heading our way.  Right now it can be seen in the early morning hours very low in the southern sky and you will need binoculars to see it as well as a star chart.  Over the coming nights Comet Lovejoy Q2 will climb higher in the sky, become a bit brighter, and appear earlier in the evening.  From a dark sky locale it will just barely be visible to the naked eye but binoculars or a small telescope will show it at its best.
